• Should the Water Effects cure to be completely clear in 24 hours?

  The 24-hour dry time of Water Effects is a guideline only. Actual dry time depends on a number of factors. Very thick applications could take a couple of weeks to clear completely. Environmental conditions like heat and humidity could also extend dry time. To speed up dry time, place a fan in the room to circulate the air.

   

• How do I tint Water Effects™?

  You can use our Water Tint which is specially formulated to tint Deep Pour Water, Realistic Water and Surface Water. Or you can mix a small amount of Earth Colors® Liquid Pigment or water-soluble paint into Water Effects™ before applying.

• How do I make a waterfall?

  You can make any size waterfall you want with Water Effects, Water Waves or Water Ripples.

• How do I give a matte-white snow base a crystalized, icy look?

  Mix a tiny amount of fine, iridescent glitter with Snow Flake Snow™ until the desired look is achieved, keeping in mind that a little goes a long way. Spray an already modeled snow base with Scenic Cement™ and apply the mixture while glue is wet.

  You can also mix glitter with Water Effects™ before modeling icicles.

• How do I apply the Water Effects?

  Water Effects is moldable, holds its shape and dries clear. To model moving water, apply on top of dried Realistic Water™ or E-Z Water with a paintbrush or craft stick.
  To model a waterfall, squeeze onto freezer paper or non-stick pan in desired shape and length (add 1/2” to length for attaching to layout). Let dry until clear, then peel off surface carefully and attach using Water Effects as an adhesive. Dry time varies due to heat and humidity.

• How can I make ice blocks?

  This method makes very realistic ice blocks. Adjust size accordingly.

  1. Apply a square layer of Water Effects onto a non-stick surface, such as freezer paper or a non-stick pan. Let dry until clear.
  2. Add additional layers as needed, letting each layer cure fully.
  3. If necessary, trim with hobby knife after blocks are cured and clear.

   

• Will Water Effects remain tacky or will it dry completely to a hard product? I am wanting to place models on top of it without it leaving marks on it or even worse, sticking to it.

  Water Effects will remain pliable.  Anything set on top of it will stick to it and leave indentations.

   

• I have applied some waves using the Water Effects on top of my Realistic Water. The Water Effects is still white or has turned white, will it become clear?

  Yes, the Water Effects turning white after use is normal.  It will become clear over time depending on how thick the Water Effects was applied.  It also helps to have air circulating in room your water feature is in.

• I plan to use your Realistic Water and Water Effects products to create a creek. I do not see anywhere how to clean up a brush after applying these products.

  Both products are water-soluble. Clean brushes immediately with warm, soapy water.

   

  General cleaning information is listed on the label in the Modeling and Care Information.

• How do you clean Surface Waters out of a brush or any tools used to apply them?

  You can clean tools and brushes with warm soapy water.

• Can I pour Deep Pour Water over Water Effects?

  Yes, as long as the Water Effects is fully cured.

• Can Water Waves be applied over Water Effects?

  Yes. Allow Water Effects to cure completely before applying Water Waves.

• Can Water Effects be painted with acrylic paint once it dries?

  Yes, it can be painted after it is dry with 100% acrylic paint.
